Court of Appeal - partial resumption of live hearings

28/10/2020

From next week, at least one Court of Appeal matter listed for each day will be a live hearing in either the Banco Court or Court 13A. If more than one Court of Appeal hearing is occurring on the same day, the other matter(s) will continue to be heard by AVL.

The Registrar of the Court of Appeal will notify parties in advance if their hearings are to be live hearings.

The President of the Court of Appeal will continue to entertain any applications in relation to a listed AVL hearing if a strong case can be made for a live hearing. There remains, however, a practical limitation on the number of live hearings that can take place in the Law Courts Building because of COVID-19 requirements and social distancing concerns.
